I would rank it quite close to The worst company to work for tech wise.
I've worked for a bit as a contract worker in their Eikon/Elektron product division(the Bloomberg equivalent).
They have "everything": silos, fiefdoms. Systems team that operated as if the devops model never happened. A CTO they hired @~2015/2016 that had no experience in tech whatsoever. A board which instituted and instructed a cost cutting policy by,for e.g. , but not limited to outsourcing every job possible with little to no tradeoff on quality of engineering. And this was way before AI was a thing.
This left staff engineers with no bargaining power to hire engineers to write good systems.
If you are considering a job there, I would recommend doing some due diligence.
Don't assume any private corporation has morals above what law mandates. Would be nice, but think a bit what sort of people get to steer big corporations these days and how their incentives are set.
The culty character of contemporary politics is entirely due to the complete destruction of labor rights. We've created a situation where you need to have particular political/ideological beliefs to work, because we've failed to protect people from being fired for their political beliefs.
Or more accurately, we've guaranteed that people can be fired instantly, for any arbitrary reason other than one specifically hinging on their membership of a protected class. However, the only way to prove that you've been fired for being in a protected class is for somebody to have clearly said this on a recording or in writing. If they say "no, I fired him for liking superhero movies" they're good to go. So even traditional civil rights actions have been basically annulled, and justice can only be done by activist judges ignoring the letter of the law.
It's important to say that the vast majority of middle class people now support people being fired for political beliefs. They only get angry when people are fired for supporting their political beliefs. They will regret this.
